There is hardly a day that goes by when Democrats fail to use the term “racism” in some sort of capacity regarding conservatives. It is the current buzz word that they hope will keep them relevant in upcoming elections since they have very little else to hang their hat on: the train wreck of Obamacare, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, Lois Lerner, endless executive actions without congressional approval, and the list goes on.

Criticism of these policies is not racism. It is warranted. The one argument that no one has ever made to combat any of these attacks by Democrats is the Herman Cain factor. Mr. Cain, being a black conservative, was demonized to no end by the left in order to ensure that no black conservative would be allowed to run against their Messiah. It is a very safe bet that many more conservatives would have voted for Cain than Mitt Romney, for whatever reason they chose. This would have put an end to the racism factor, but that could not be permitted. The cabal of liberals, Gloria Allred, her willing false accusers, and the mainstream press worked in lockstep to eliminate him from the race. Unfortunately, it worked and a “true” conservative was not allowed to run.

So the next time you hear the term racism, you have a response that you can make. It is time to bring the elements of truth to Pelosi, Reed, Schumer and the liberal establishment. Let’s do it now.
